Summary
Bibliographic description
[15] leaves of plates : col. ; 40cm. Provenance: copy for sale through French auction house Brissonneau … suggests date "Vers 1880". Perhaps the date should be somewhat later. Sir Walter MacGeough Bond (1857-1945) was Judge of the Court of Appeal in Cairo from 1888 until 1899 and then Vice-President of the Court of Appeal until 1916. The caricatured figures are likely to be his contemporaries. Manuscript identifications have been added to all but two of the plates. Binding: publisher's red cloth, blind ornamental border, gold lettered.
